Radiation chemical effects on radiochemistry: A review of examples important to nuclear power

TL;DR: In this article, the role of reactive species created in irradiated aqueous and organic solution and their effects on radiochemistry is examined, including solvent extraction from acidic solution, metal complexation in alkaline tank waste, and the corrosion of spent fuel stored in repository brine.

The Kinetic and Radiolytic Aspects of Control of the Redox Speciation of Neptunium in Solutions of Nitric Acid

Martin Precek
TL;DR: Paulenova et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the interactions of neptunium(V) and (VI) with nitrous acid, which is formed as a product of radiolytic degradation of nitric acid caused by high levels of radioactivity present in such systems.

Reevaluation of Neptunium–Nitric Acid Radiation Chemistry by Multiscale Modeling

TL;DR: Multiscale modeling has been used to quantitatively reevaluate the radiation chemistry of neptunium in a range of aerated nitric acid solutions, suggesting the existence of a catalytic-acid-dependent reduction process.

The hydrolysis of neptunium(VI) and plutonium(VI) studied by the pulse radiolysis transient conductivity technique

TL;DR: The first hydrolysis constant of the NpO 2+2 cation has been determined by either oxidizing Np(V) to Pu(VI) with radiation-produced hydroxyl radicals, or reducing NpVI to NpV with hydrated electrons, and studying the pH dependence of the asymptotic conductivity signals as discussed by the authors.
